Ok, so as step 1 I decided to register and look around. Guess what? I filled out a form with info/login/etcetera, then went to login... and I can't. The system doesn't recognize me, and then I tried to reset the password, entered my email address, got a message that says that an email has been sent... no email. Hello? Help?

Hehe.. well, that might be it for me & MP for now

You don't have to process them - you only have to do that if you upload via FTP.

You should be able to see your images by first clicking on the "History" tab, then on the "View Images" link under today's date. If there's no link, or some of your images are missing, that means they don't match 123's images size specifications.

Nope, that's not it either... there was nothing under history tab/view images and they do match size specifications... oh well... on to another attempt... persistence should pay off, right?

All right, so this time I went the "java uploader " route, uploaded about 65 images (remember? last time i did the ftp over 50 images did not go through) to test the waters... now i'm logging into 123rf and I can't figure out where they are.... how do I process them???


Arrrrghhhh.... so sad, so really sad.... I mean... come on!

Yup, frustrated, and venting a little bit. But also want to understand if this is a new unannounced trend. I am getting really tired of these:

"This is a very well covered subject in our data base or the subject of your image is too specific. We are looking for images that exceed the technical quality and creativity of the images already online. Please take a few minutes to browse through the best selling images online (on this subject) and go deeper, play, have a more creative, more personal approach to it, also keeping in mind the technical quality of the image."

I submitted several fractals over the last few days that were not just a quick renders, but that were carefully selected and rendered overnight and then worked on in PS that were rejected for this reason. ALSO i submitted a couple of fractal designs of X-mas tree on two-three different backgrounds that give designers different choices of bg color and space. ALL rejected for this reason. And I am no longer satisfied with this standard boring (and to me, slightly offensive - "have a more creative approach, go deeper' - huh???) explanation. If DT is not taking fractal-based work any mroe they have to create a special announcement with clear explanation of what they are looking for. Some of these fractals are top sellers on other sites... and th eonly one that DT did accept become an isntant download. So, what the heck. Really frustrating...
